The Overgrown Relic - Real Giant Silk Moth Upcycled Mantel Clock Diorama

Invite the haunting beauty of a forgotten forest into your home with this spectacular, one-of-a-kind specimen diorama.

Handcrafted for connoisseurs of the unusual, dark academia scholars, and gothic collectors, this breath-taking centrepiece breathes new life into a wooden mantel clock case. Housed behind the original circular glass portal is a magnificent, perfectly preserved Samia Cynthia (Ailanthus Silk Moth), showcasing its sprawling wing expanse, rich earthy tones, and crescent-shaped markings.

The giant silk moth is set within a meticulously detailed botanical landscape, framed by clusters of dried white Gypsophila (Baby's Breath) against a lush moss-backed background. Breaking past the glass barrier, wild tufts of green moss spill onto the distressed, deep black wooden frame, giving the entire piece the enchanting appearance of a reclaimed woodland treasure.

100% real, sustainably sourced Samia Cynthia silk moth. Fully prepped, pinned and preserved.

Upcycled solid wood mantel clock case, finished in a matte charcoal-black stain with an antiqued brass carry handle.

Built with a sturdy, flat mantel base for prominent shelf, altar, or desk display.

Measures approximately 7.5inches (19cm) x 8.5inches (21.5cm) x 2.5inches (6cm).

Care Instructions: To protect the natural pigmentation of the moth wings and dried flora, display your diorama out of direct, harsh sunlight and away from high moisture environments. Simply dust the wooden housing and external glass face with a dry, soft microfibre cloth when needed.
